The number of mothers passing the HIV virus to their babies has fallen to a
new record low in the UK and Ireland thanks to the very high take-up of
antenatal HIV screening and treatment which reduces virus levels in the
pregnant women, according to research led by UCL.

UCL and the UK government
launched today the UK-China Infrastructure Academy, a major new initiative to help train Chinese companies and officials
on investment processes in the UK and to encourage greater
Chinese investment in UK infrastructure projects.
